There I was sitting in Ozpin's office awaiting punishment. I may have gone a little too far with Cardin. At least I didn't cut through flesh only armor, but I think he got the message. Ozpin entered the room.
"Mr. Storm-shield care to explain the incident with Cardin Winchester?" he said sitting down.
"What happened to me or to Cardin?" I said crossing my arms.
"You. I was going to deal with Mr. Winchester myself, but it appears you beat me to the way I would have handled it, but good enough." he said
"So I'm not expelled or anything?" I asked putting my hands on the desk.
"No you're not now back to the topic at hand. What's the story behind claw?" he asked
"To be honest Professor I didn't know about the claw until last night. I was going to use it to end a criminals life, but my friends stopped me and calmed me down then it disappeared. Then when I was going to sleep my semblance started telling me all this nonsense on how I'm a werewolf." I explained
"Come again?" Ozpin said confused.
As much as I didn't want to say it again I wasn't in any position to argue.
"I'm a werewolf." I said looking him in the eyes.
"There is no such proof of this in the records maybe I have to dig deeper. You're dismissed." Ozpin said looking through his scroll. I got up from the seat and opened the door.
"Trey." Ozpin said stopping me. "Don't go far I may call you here again soon for now please resume your classes."
"Yes sir." I nodded and walked out.
I checked my schedule and saw that I had Ms. Goodwitch next. I heard chatter about me in the hall. They were scared of me. I walked a straight path to Goodwitch's class. Not how I expected my first day of class to go. I entered the classroom all eyes on me.
"Ah Mr. Storm-shield perfect timing you're next please step up to the stage."
I did as I was told and walked on to the stage looking at my classmates. Ms. Goodwitch began calling out names of my opponents. They refused to fight me. Jaune raised his hand.
"I'll fight him Ms. Goodwitch." he said standing up.
"Ok Mr. Arc please step up to the stage.
I don't want to fight. I'm not sure if I'm stable yet what if hurt Jaune?
"Ms. Goodwitch I forfeit the match against Jaune." I said
"Very well please return to your seat." She said
After other students fought against each other class was over. Jaune ran up to me.
"Trey why'd you throw the match?" Jaune asked in confusion.
"Jaune I'm not sure if I'm stable at the moment I mean you saw what I did to Cardin. What if I did the same to you?" I said to him.
"Trey we don't hate you or anything we were just surprised. We're still your friends and nothing's going to change that." Jaune said.
"Thanks Jaune." I said
"Hey do you know where Velvet is right now?"
"Well since class is done for the day I would guess she's in her dorm room." He said rubbing his chin.
"Alright I'll see you around." I said making my way to the dorms.
I hope I didn't freak her out or anything. She probably thinks I'm some kind of animal. I was closing in in her dorm when I saw her teammates leaving from inside. I hid behind a wall and waited for them to pass. Once they did I knocked on Velvet's door.
"Velvet it's me open up." I said hoping she heard me
The door opened and I was immediately tackled by Velvet.
"You have some explaining to do get inside." She said
One long ass explanation later*
"That sure is a lot to take in." Velvet said
"That's what I said. "
"Look don't worry about it I don't hate you or anything." She said.
Phew
"Thanks for taking care of Cardin by the way I wasn't the only one he was bullying so you did a lot of us a favor. Hey my team is coming back and they aren't really sure about you at the moment so you better take off before problems start."
"I wasn't kidding when I said I'd rip his arm off." I said
"Sure Trey, sure." she said walking me out.
"I mean it." I said already out the door.
Well now I can relax knowing she doesn't hate me or anything. I was turning the corner to my dorm until I saw Pyrrha waiting outside.
"Wonder what's on her mind" I thought to myself.
"Hi Trey." She said now in front of me
"Hey Pyrrha what's up?" I asked
"I was wondering if you wanted to come to town with me since the rest of my team is busy at the moment." She asked me.
"Damn I'm starting to hate the fact that you're right sometimes you know". I said in my head so my semblance could hear me.
"Told you, you should go you know. See who you're going to choose in the future. No one is going to see you they're all busy right now." My head rang.
"Sure I don't see why not besides I think Phoebe might have a trap in store for me if I go inside the dorm." I told her.
"DAMMIT." I heard her yell from inside the room.
"C'mon let's go!" She said taking my hand and dragging me to the airships
Girls got a grip I can tell you that. We stopped by a clothing store where she tried on multiple outfits asking for my opinion. Everything she tried on looked good on her then again I bet she hears that a lot. I took a look round and a dark brown duster caught my eye.
"Huh it fits." I said trying it on. "Think I'll take it"
Pyrrha had finished picking out the outfits she wanted to take and waved me over to the register.
"1,200 Lien." The man at the register said to us.
Pyrrha was looking through her purse for money when I had already given the man the total.
"Have a nice day." The man said.
"You didn't have to..." she said looking up at me.
"Pyrrha I insist and to be honest I have way too much on me as it is." I said cutting her off.
"Now how about you come with me to a store I like?" I said patting her shoulder.
I walked her to the weapons store I sell guns to. We walked in and we were immediately greeted by Demarco the owner.
"There's my favorite vigilante, here to clean out my register again?" he said from behind the counter.
"Not today Demarco." I said laughing. "Just looking for upgrades is all."
"Well then take a look at my new stock we recently got a shipment of larger ammo wheels for that revolver of yours." he said pulling out a box of revolver related items.
I glanced at Pyrrha who was looking at the vast array of weapons on the wall.
"There you go Demarco." I said handing him 500 Lien
"No, no, no, it's on the house." He said waving his hand "On one condition."
"What might that condition be?" I asked.
"When you're on break you come and work for me here at the shop. We got a deal?" He asked putting his arm on the counter.
I did kind of want to get a job here.
"Sure Demarco I'll let you know when I'm on break and I'll take over for you." I accepted the offer.
"Good. Ok kiddo, come back soon alright." He said.
"Will do Demarco, Pyrrha?" I said holding the door and waving her over.
After exiting the shop we made our way to the airships, but Pyrrha was falling behind.
"Pyrrha is something wrong?" I asked stopping in front of her.
"Trey, can I tell you something?" she responded.
Uh oh please don't do this please don't do this not now.
"What's on your mind?" I asked.
"Ever since I met you I couldn't help but feel a spark every time I was around you."
Fuck.
"When we talked in the halls, when you'd defend those who couldn't defend themselves, and how generous and caring you are."
Here it comes.
"I guess you could say... I've fallen for you." Pyrrha confessed.
"Are you sure no one's around" I said in my head so my semblance could hear.
"Nope" It said back.
I'm haven't decided who I want to be with yet and here she is spilling her guts out to me. I don't want a relationship right now, but I can't just reject her. God I hope that shadow is right because I'm about to do something drastic.
"Pyrrha look you're pretty much the most awesome person I've ever met I'm sorry, but I'm not looking for a relationship right now there's already too much on my plate." I said with so much guilt.
Pyrrha looked down in sadness.
"But to show I do care about you I'll give you this." I said to her.
I put my hand under her chin, lifted her head to mine, and kissed her. Her green eyes lit up. Not the smartest thing I've done, but I didn't see any other way without it ending badly.
"Now let's get back to BEACON." I said.
She smiled and nodded.
"Lady killer." My shadow said in my head.
"Shut up." I replied.
I walked Pyrrha to her dorm where I waved to her team from outside.
"Goodnight Trey." she said to me.
"Goodnight Pyrrha." I said and began to walk to my door.
I opened the door and before I knew it my team pulled me in and held me down.
"YOU'RE A WEREWOLF?" They all said.
"Keep it down I don't want the whole school to know the day I found out speaking of which. How did you guys find out?" I said throwing them off me.
Anna raised her hand. "Guilty."
"I didn't see you all day how could you have found out." I questioned the fox.
She showed me a video on her scroll about what happened during lunch.
"Damn, do you guys record everything I do?" I said taking off my duster.
"I don't roll that way." Roland said from his bed.
Anna hid a red light from view with her coat.
"I tend to leave a few bugs here and there..." Phoebe said looking away from my direction
"I'm not even going to ask why. Hey I almost forgot, you remember telling me something about a cause going around town?"
"Yes" Roland said sitting up.
"Well I met the guy who's running it and I'm meeting him this weekend at their hideout and he said I could bring you guys."
Phoebe ran up to me and held me by my shirt.
"Damn right you're bringing us." She said.
Fast forward to Saturday night*
Velvet found out from Phoebe where we were going and after a whole day of arguing she won and tagged along. What if Jake isn't a part of the White Fang and my shadow is just tricking me? Well see soon enough. We walked into a warehouse full of boxes and tables with plans on them. A lot of people dressed in my vigilante gear were walking around and chatting with one another. Jake appeared from the top of the cat walk
"Ah Trey surprised you could make it... and how easily you fell for my trap."
"What?" I said and before I knew it I was brought to my knees and tied up as well as my friends.
"If you hurt her you'll regret it!" I yelled at the White Fang grunts referring to Velvet.
"Trey what's happening!" Velvet shouted to me.
"It's going to be ok I'll get us out of this." I said trying to calm her.
"I wouldn't be too sure about that." Jake laughed
"JAKE!" I growled.
"You should have listened."
